CURLOPT_SASL_AUTHZID(3)    curl_easy_setopt options    CURLOPT_SASL_AUTHZID(3)

NAME
       CURLOPT_SASL_AUTHZID - authorisation identity (identity to act as)

SYNOPSIS
       #include <curl/curl.h>

       CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_SASL_AUTHZID, char
       *authzid);

DESCRIPTION
       Pass a char * as parameter, which should be pointing to the null-
       terminated authorisation identity (authzid) for the transfer. Only
       applicable to the PLAIN SASL authentication mechanism where it is
       optional.

       When not specified only the authentication identity (authcid) as
       specified by the username will be sent to the server, along with the
       password. The server will derive a authzid from the authcid when not
       provided, which it will then uses internally.

       When the authzid is specified, the use of which is server dependent, it
       can be used to access another user's inbox, that the user has been
       granted access to, or a shared mailbox for example.

DEFAULT
       blank
